Return of sharpshooter to lift Raiders

Croker's looming return lifts Canberra

The Canberra Raiders are set to regain sharpshooter Jarrod Croker for Saturday night's crucial clash with Manly at Brookvale Oval.

One of the leading goalkickers in the competition, Croker's return could not come at a better time as the Raiders aim to shake off their lethargic starts.

Croker has missed the past three games because of a knee injury, leaving NSW representative-in-waiting Blake Ferguson to take over the goalkicking duties.

The respective strike rates of both players are chalk and cheese.

Croker is 83.33 per cent (15 from 18) this season compared with Ferguson's mark of 62.5 per cent (10 from 16).
